RE: What was your first engine?
I came into the hobby around 1960, I made a lot of Scientific Kits with carved fuses, Carl Goldberg little jumping bean,then flite streak, ring masters by Sterling, and Carl Goldberg Cosmic Wind , Shoestring.I used Cox 0.49 0.20, Testors Wen Mac 0.49, Ma Coy .35 .29 .60 red heads, Enya .29 and .19, many Fox motors .07, .19 RC and UC, .35 stunt, .36X rat race hop ups,Veco .35 and .19, my first RC motor was a Enya .35 RC with a strap on muffler it ran good and I still have it.It is good to think of the past and how far the hobby has progressed over the years.
